My partner works for a technical support help thingy and the HTC guys recommend not getting one. They've had so many problems. I'll stick to good old safe Apple. partybeer

I wish the phones I've had in the past had lasted as well as the HTC I've got, I drop thing a lot and this phone has been dropped countless times. Yes its had one or two minor issues but thats only been after dropping it onto hard surfaces, the shop put it right the once and a friend sorted it out another time. I dropped my husbands phone last year and the screen shattered and it was useless so I asked him what one he would like to replace it, his reply was "same make as yours, they bounce well" Grin

So I got him an HTC and its now almost a year old and never had a problem with it.

Well its not like Apple haven't had a stack of issues with the iPhone.

Code:

I'm happy to stick with HTC

Jan, couldn't agree more, I have an HTC running Android and its brilliant, can't fault it.

This is not really any different to running unknown software on a PC or other platform, apply a bit of common sense about applications and their source, if you are not sure stay clear.

3 tried to get me to have an iphone and at first even offered me it cheaper than the HTC
I cant really fault my HTC, if I didnt keep dropping it I doubt I would ever have had even minor issues.
